Our Story

How We Look at a Deck Job

We design, build, and repair decks for homeowners around Dallas, GA. Most of us got into this trade doing framing or general carpentry and found decks were the part of the job that stuck, probably because you can see the whole thing finished in a week or two instead of months. We still like that part.

The reader on this page usually has one of two things going on: a rotted ledger board, a deck that's started to bounce when you walk on it, or a bare patch of yard they want to turn into something usable. We check the framing underneath before we ever talk boards, because a new surface on a bad frame just hides the problem for a year. If the joists are sound, we replace boards and move on. If they're not, we say so and price the frame work honestly instead of talking you into a quick fix.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

We're licensed and insured for deck construction in Georgia, and we'll show you proof before we start. If a board falls off a ladder or a footing hole floods, that's on our policy, not your homeowner's insurance.

Permits Handled

Deck permits in Paulding County require footing depth, ledger attachment, and railing height to meet code, and we handle that paperwork ourselves. Skipping the permit might save a week now, but it turns into a problem when you go to sell the house.

Material Options

We work in pressure-treated pine, cedar, and composite brands like Trex and TimberTech, and we'll walk you through the real difference in upkeep, not just price. Composite costs more up front and never needs staining, pine costs less and needs sealing every two or three years.

Written Estimates

Every quote lists the lumber, hardware, and labor separately, so you can see where the money's going. No verbal ballpark that turns into a bigger number once the job's half done.

We Show Up When We Say

Georgia weather moves projects around, but we call ahead if a pour or a stain day has to shift instead of leaving you guessing. A deck sitting half-built for three weeks because nobody showed up is the most common complaint homeowners have about this trade.

Clean Job Site

Deck demolition leaves nails, screws, and splintered boards scattered through the yard, and we bag it and haul it out before we call the job finished. We check the grass with a magnet sweep for stray fasteners, especially if you've got kids or dogs.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who's doing the work and how we operate.

How long has deck building been the main focus of work here?
Deck construction and repair are the full-time focus of the work, built on a background in general carpentry and framing. Trade-specific knowledge, footing depth, ledger flashing, load-rated hardware, comes from years spent specifically on decks rather than carpentry in general.
Is deck work done by an in-house crew or subcontractors?
Deck framing and installation are handled by a dedicated crew rather than subcontracted out to whoever is available that week. The same people who give the estimate are typically the ones building the deck.
Can past deck projects be seen before hiring?
Photos of completed deck projects, including repairs and staining jobs, are available on request and often shown during the estimate visit. Seeing a similar layout or material choice in person helps most homeowners decide what they actually want.
Why hire a smaller deck builder instead of a large contracting company?
A smaller deck-focused operation means the person who quotes the job is usually the one building it, closing the gap between what got promised and what shows up on site. Large general contractors often subcontract deck work out entirely, adding a markup and another layer of communication.
Where is this deck building business based?
Deck construction and repair work is based out of Dallas, GA, serving Paulding County and surrounding towns within about a 50-mile radius.
How far out is scheduling for new deck projects?
Booking windows shift with the season, with spring and early summer filling up fastest for new deck builds. A call or estimate request gives the most accurate answer for current scheduling.
Is the job site cleaned up after a deck build?
Old lumber, cut-offs, and packaging get hauled off at the end of every deck project, and the yard gets swept for stray screws and nails before the job is called finished. A magnet sweep is standard on demolition jobs especially.
What happens if something gets damaged during deck construction, like a fence or sprinkler line?
Accidental property damage during deck construction is covered under liability insurance, and any incident gets addressed directly rather than left for the homeowner to sort out. This is part of why carrying insurance matters more than most homeowners realize until something happens.
Will an unfinished deck started by another contractor get taken over?
Picking up a deck project another contractor left unfinished happens fairly often, usually starting with an inspection of the existing framing before agreeing to continue it. Framing that doesn't meet code gets corrected before any new work goes on top of it.
How can proper deck construction be verified during the build?
A Paulding County building inspector checks footing depth, flashed ledger board connections, and load-rated joist hangers during a permitted deck build. Asking to see the permit and inspection sign-off is the most reliable way to confirm the work meets code.
